How do you get into Sidecar?
We have not confirmed it. Sidecar is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at Sidecar
How the venue describes itself: “Side Car Market is a seated bar and dining room hidden inside Old Town Junction Restaurant – 24275 Main St, Newhall, Ca, 91321 sidecarmarket.com We serve classic-inspired specialty cocktails and high-end sipping spirits. We also offer a small selection of wine, champagne, and beer.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Sidecar, Boulevardier, and Vieux Carré are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.
Where Sidecar sits

Prohibition in California
California came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.
